WWE Crown Jewel 2019: 5 reasons why Seth Rollins is no longer competing twice on the same night

Seth Rollins will look to win against The Fiend and retain his title

#1 Possible spoiler and much-awaited heel turn

The Beastslayer has been brutalized by The Fiend on countless occasions

Probably the best reason to have Seth Rollins focus on one match is to book a jaw-dropping end to his encounter. And nothing can be better than having the Universal Champion turn into a heel in an attempt to overcome The Fiend.

WWE commentators have often pointed out the change in Rollins’ demeanor ever since he started feuding with The Fiend. It is important to note that they are also scheduled to fight in a Steel Cage match on RAW right after the PPV. As per the reports, the two Superstars will continue their feud throughout November.

Allowing Rollins to feature in just one match will give him enough space to execute the narration without risking its effect on other segments. Otherwise, it would have been weird to have a bad guy lead a team that features babyfaces.

Last time when Rollins was in two matches (Clash of Champions, 2019), he lost one but won the other and kept his Universal Championship safely. But now that he is in just one match, it is not difficult to predict that he will win against all odds and retain his title.

Hence, a heel turn would make for a fantastic booking despite the result. Let's be honest, Rollins' current in-ring gimmick is on the verge of becoming stale and we all know that he is better as a heel.

But will WWE make it happen?
